This is the first public Release Candidate for Subversion 1.3.0, as
problems were found with the previous three release candidates before
they were made publicly available.

The term 'release candidate' means the Subversion developers feel that
this release is stable and ready for production use, so we encourage
people to test this release thoroughly. The final stable 1.3.0 release
is scheduled for late-December, in order to provide plenty of time for
testing.

The changes between 1.2.3 and 1.3.0-rc4 are listed below,
New 1.3 features are explained in detail in our release notes, located at:
